    Lyrics:
    We stood at Pinxton station, one dismal Saturday, with an air of glooming over platform 1
    The folk all dressed in morning black had come from near and far to see the Pinxton flyers' final run
    There's a scrap and colliery and pubs of great renown, and the smell of burning slag(?) fills the air
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pixton for the LMR don't have the trains to spare
    They filled the booking office, the most they'd seen for years, buying souvenir tickets by the score
    Enthusiastic passengers took pictures of the guard whose autograph was sought by many more
    There's a scrap and colliery and pubs of great renown, and the smell of burning slag(?) fills the air
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pixton for the LMR don't have the trains to spare
    Oh, a solemn ritual was held upon the platform side, though time it had long passed departure time
    But finally did a train pull out with whistle open wide and detonators bangin' on the line
    There's a scrap and colliery and pubs of great renown, and the smell of burning slag(?) fills the air
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pixton for the LMR don't have the trains to spare
    And every single station from there to Nottingham was treated to a ceremony grand
    The communication cord was pulled a dozen times or more for the gentlemen to shake the porter's hand
    There's a scrap and colliery and pubs of great renown, and the smell of burning slag(?) fills the air
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pixton for the LMR don't have the trains to spare
    **Kickass piano solo**
    And at last, the terminus was reached and everyone got out, the refreshment bar their final port of call
    And the gentlemen in black top hats, they drank a solemn toast, for the poor old Pinxton railway was no more
    There's a scrap and colliery and pubs of great renown, and the smell of burning slag(?) fills the air
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pixton for the LMR don't have the trains to spare
    Half from memory heh.

    despite the songs plot, the instrumental has the energy of a joyous Finnish polka.

    *LYRICS*
    We stood at Pinxton station one dismal Saturday, and the air was gloomin' over Platform One
    For folk all dressed in mourning black had come from near and far to see the Pinxton fly its final run...
    There's a scrapyard, and a colliery, and pubs of great renown
    And the smell of burning slack, it fills the air...
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pinxton line
    For the LMR don't have the trains to spare...
    They filled the booking office the most it seemed for years
    Buying souvenir tickets by the score
    Enthusiastic passengers took pictures of the guard
    Whose autograph was sought by many more...
    There's a scrapyard, and a colliery, and pubs of great renown
    And the smell of burning slack, it fills the air...
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pinxton line
    For the LMR don't have the trains to spare...
    Oh, a solemn ritual was held upon the platform side
    Though, now it had long past departure time
    But finally, the train pulled out with whistle open wide
    And detonators banging on the line...
    There's a scrapyard, and a colliery, and pubs of great renown
    And the smell of burning slack, it fills the air...
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pinxton line
    For the LMR don't have the trains to spare...
    And every single station, from there to Nottingham
    Was treated to a ceremony grand
    The communication cord was pulled a dozen times or more
    For the gentleman to shake the porter's hand...
    There's a scrapyard, and a colliery, and pubs of great renown
    And the smell of burning slack, it fills the air...
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pinxton line
    For the LMR don't have the trains to spare...
    *INSTRUMENTAL BREAK*
    At last, the terminus was reached, and everyone got out...
    The refreshment barred their final port of call...
    And the gentlemen in black top hats, they drank a solemn toast...
    For the poor old Pinxton railway was no more...
    There's a scrapyard, and a colliery, and pubs of great renown
    And the smell of burning slack, it fills the air...
    But you'll never get to see them on the rusty Pinxton line
    For the LMR don't have the trains to spare...

    Shame we lost the railway, but at least the locos from the longmoor military railway were saved for preservation.
